Rabbis-Notebook - Shoftim - Torah.org

Rabbis-Notebook - Shoftim - Torah.org: "Regardless of the power of a monument proclaiming G-d's singular sovereignty, Moshe told us that G-d hates "pillars," because they were standard expressions of idolatry.

I vividly recall one of my Father's congregants, a world respected art expert and restorer, who turned down a very lucrative contract to restore a church somewhere in Europe. My father Shlita pointed out that even more impressive than the congregant's acceptance of the demanded sacrifice was the manner in which he accepted the Halachik ruling. It was done without fanfare or apparent regrets."
